OT: NCAA penalizes Syracuse and Boeheim

[BlueDevil 8,655]

I know a lot of people would hate this but honestly, it's not a bad option. We get to potentially see what Crean could so with a senior Yogi, Troy with a jumper, improved Rojo and JB, and a legit big man in Thomas Byrant. I know this year has had it's up's and very low down's, but this way we get a pretty awesome roster and a chance to make a decent run in the tourny, and if it the season doesn't live up to expectations, we have another chance to court a great, not just a good, coach.

You also have to look at it from creans side he knows his days are numbered why stick around and be the placeholder for someone else. He may not want to waste his time for one more season.

If he has as much self-confidence as it seems he has in himself in his interviews I wouldn't be surprised if he though he could take that team places.

Flip it around ... maybe the IU as "finalist" status for Bryant is a result of Crean being out the door?  I'm sure recruits share the fanbase's opinion of Crean's abilities towards big men.

Only thing to take from this video is Rece and Bilas analyzing the sanctions with a straight face while literally on UNC's court.

Bilas acts like his feelings are hurt by the sanctions.

A little to light on the penalties I think.

 

A little too light? Losing 25% of your scholarships for an entire recruiting cycle is a pretty big deal.

It is a big deal. But there isn't any doubt I think the NCAA should lay the hammer down a lot more when the culture and oversight are that bad. Death penalty time.

Compared to the  the "new" guidelines for sanctions and discipline, they got off easy. I read one of ESPN writers saying that Boeheim should've at least been suspended for a whole season and they should've gotten more postseason bans. They were also supposed to lose more scholarships. 

[bnkepner 1,509]

And it was convenient that they got in trouble for everything starting a month after they won the championship with Carmelo Anthony. I also thought I remember seeing that Anthony shouldn't have qualified academically to even play that year

[bnkepner 1,509]

Coach K on PTI saying he thought the penalties against Boeheim and Syracuse were too harsh and unfair. Ridiculous how they can stick up for people that have been caught CHEATING. Unbelievable to me honestly

thats cause coach K "plays the game" too. Don't be fooled. Dirty business with recruiting. Sampson screwed us in more ways than 1. We need to be extra careful now. I think that is a big part of the reason for late misses and confusing the Crystal Ball.

I was more specifically referring to the whole scandal with Syracuse with academics and with them failing to discipline students after failed drug tests. Of course they are going to vacate wins from Boeheim if he won those games with players who shouldn't have been playing

Honestly anyone defending Boeheim and the Syracuse cesspool lose a ton of respect from me. Vitale and Coach K now, at the top of the list. Unbelievable!

[Alford Bailey 12,281]

Also unbelievable that Boeheim apparently keeps his job.

[WayneFleekHoosier 47,090]

Seeing eye to eye with Alford!

[Alford Bailey 12,281]

'Cuse might lift their self-imposed scholarship ban to get Bryant after all. ( See pap's post on the Bryant thread. )

 

Yeah, that's "harsh".

Apparently the president of the university lacks a pair. Boeheim running the show. 

[KelleyHoosh 2,263]

Not surprised Crean publicly defends Boeheim. Didn't they work closely on team USA? Not to mention, all coaches have a vested interest in the most player friendly environment so they have less rules to follow, so winning will be easier. 

[323SGrant 1,176]

'Cuse basically received a "slap on the wrist". It's my understanding they committed serious violations for many years.
